Madam:
Julius Ewen I have to advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim R. 3416, it appears that Sarah Ewen or Ewing applied for pension, November 14, 1838, while a resident of Warren County, Indiana, and stated that her husband, Timothy Ewen or Ewing had lived at Johnstown, Burlington County, New Jersey, and served as a private in New Jersey or New York and was wounded several times, while in the service, no officers nor dates given.
Her claim was not allowed, as she failed to furnish proof of any specific service.
It also appears in said claim that Timothy Ewen or Ewing (son of Julius) married October 7, 1786 or 1789 near Brownsville, Pennsylvania, Sarah her maiden name is not stated. She was born Jan-

uary 23, 1771, place not mentioned.

The soldier died February 12, 1828 in Fountain County, Indiana.

Respectfully
This Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services, and a careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the services of any Julius or Julius Ewen or Ewing.
This Bureau has no record of services rendered prior to the War of the Revolution, and is unable to advise you as to where to write in London to get the record of the marriage of Julius Ewen and Catherine Campbell.
Respectfully,
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner.

I have to advise you that you were furnished, February 17, 1927, the history of Timothy Ewen or Ewing (R. 3418), son of Julius, and all data pertaining to his family, as found in said claim.
In order to make a proper search of the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau for a soldier named William Harris, some of the following data is essential- approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service, and first name of widow.

Dear Sir;
Following my letter of this morning 22 nd , I wish to inform you that I have more data concerning Catherine Campbell Ewen so that you may answer all in one.
Catherine Campbell - Ewen was born  u Edenberg Scotland, came over to America from London England at the age of fifteen years with her Cousin W m Penn (I think 1682 - Oct 27) or something during 1600 and landed at New Castle.
Julius Ewen, born Argyle, Scotland, came to America from London, Eng. same date but it is not known if they were married before or after landing here.
Catherine Campbell-Ewen moulded bullets in one of the forts that were used in Rev. War (Mould still in family). There is supposed to be somewhere in history something about her braveness. Where can I get anything on this?
Catherine Campbell E. was also a Doctor + midwife. Do you have any kind of record concerning her? or their coming over with W m Penn? or a record of where any Ewen bot Gov. land?
(over)

P.S. I am trying to prove this family tradition and it seems there must be something there in Washington.
Please may I hear from you as soon as possible and thanking you again I am,
Very respectfully,
Mrs J. H. Lancaster 315 - E Park St.
Du Lusin, Ill.
P.S. I am sorry to trouble you with 2'nd letter, and will have to write you later about W m Harris of Virginia when I get more data.

Dept. of Interior, Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir;
Following my letter of the 21 st concerning Timothy Ewen (Claim R-3416)
We have from Ewen family history that Timothy Ewen enlisted at the age seventeen or eighteen, fought as a private under the "Jersey Blues" and was wound- ed several times. He also served his country again in 1812
Why was a pension denied his widow?
Just what is meant by "she failed to furnish proof of any specific service "? Does this mean she had forgotten the exact number of days served or some officers name? It seems her claim was made Nov. 14-1838 - This would be 62 yrs later.
How soon did the Gov. pay pensions?
Do you have, at Wash. D.C. a record of Gov. land bot by Julius Ewen, or any Ewen? —
Also, do you have any kind of a record of Julius Ewen, or any Ewen who came over from London, Eng. 1682 - Oct. 27 with W m Penn or at any other time during 1600 ?

H. LANCASTER DU BOIN, ILL.
Julius Ewen (or I rather think his father) had the title of, "Lord over lords", whatever that may be, in England. What dept. in Eng. would you advise me to write concerning his legal transactions? If you do not have the above mentioned records, where would you advise me to inquire? and Thanking you for the information already acquired, I am,
Very respectfully,
Mrs H. Lancaster, 315- E. Park St. Du Bois, Ill.

Dear Sir;
In your letter of the 17 inst. referring to the quotation, "It appears in said claim that Timothy Ewen son of (Julius Ewen) married Oct. 7, 1786 or 1789 near Brownsville, Penn. etc. Does it also mention his mother's name, as Catherine Campbell Ewen?
Also, why is it 1786 or 1789?
Catherine Campbell Ewen was either the mother or grandmother? of Timothy Ewen and she mowed bullets for the soldiers in the Rev. War. A cousin of mine has that mowed, at this date. Where can I get any information, on this?
Julius Ewen (or his father who came over from England, Oct. 27 - 1682 in the same boat with Wm Penn.) bot Gov. land in the W.E.A. Plains which is in Tippecanoe Co. Ind. Is there any record of this at Wash. D.C., or should I write to the Co. Clerk in Tippecanoe Co.?
(over)

also, does the name William Harris of the state of Virginia appear on the list of Rev. War soldiers? Thanking you in advance, I am,
Very respectfully,
Mrs. H. Lancaster
315 - E. Park St.
On Linton, Ill. P.S. If Julius Ewen was the father of Timothy Ewen, can you advise me how to find who was the father of Julius Ewen?
Please may I hear from you as soon as possible?
Thank you.

Dept of Interior, Washington D.C.
Dear Sir;
A few days ago I wrote you asking if the name Timothy Ewen appears on the Revolutionary War list. I wish to state that the name was misspelled. It should be Timothy Ewing instead of Ewen.
Also can have you any way of finding out if Julius Ewing was his father, or grandfather? Amelia Ewing was his daughter born Oct 13 - 1801 and Sarah

Blaine his wife but I haven't the date of their marriage either. Also, does the name of Williams more Harvie appear on the Rev. roll list.
He lived in Virginia, and was born June 10 - 1769
According to this date, it must have been his father who fought in the war.
It would be necessary for me to have all of these dates to join the D. G. R. and I think perhaps I could not get it on one side I might the other, as both were in the war.

Please let me hear from you at your earliest conven- ience and also inform me if there is any fee.
Yours Very Respectfully Mrs H. Lancaster.

on his last trip to America. Also please advise me where (in London) to write to get the record of the marriage of Julius Ewen and Catherine Campbell?
Also, can you give me the date of the birth of their son Timothy Ewen and the date of his marriage to Sarah Slane?

It is indispensably necessary to a proper investigation of the claim that the regiment company and line to which the claimant's husband belonged should be stated as well as the time of his entering and leaving the service.

If there be none then claimant should state the fact under oath.

The claim has not been allowed because she has wholly failed to establish her husband's services. Indeed, she herself, has never been able to determine under what Officers or in what State he served,

State of Kentucky Montgomery County 3 d Set.
Be it known that before me, John A. Franklin, a Justice of the peace for and in said County, personally appeared Joseph Starnes, who after being duly sworn according to law, saith that he was present personally when Timothy Ewing and his wife Sarah were married. It took place in October One Thousand, Seven hundred & Eighty Six, the precise day he cannot state, nor can he state the name of the County, but it was near Red Bank old Fort in Pennsylvania and that said Ewing was a soldier in the revolutionary war, & further he saith not. The place where the marriage took place was about two miles from said Fort.
